You bought the best. Don't expect too much. You bought performance shocks and struts. They will be pretty firm.

the ride will be alot harsher on bad surfaces. the handling will be greatly improved.
the supersports have a pretty low drop and moderatly high rate so looks are great but ride quality suffers a hair.
get subs and phb and or lower cotrol arms as well. I my experice shocks, struts, springs were about half the battle. the rear axle loctatin and flex gave the car a way more confident feel. I still need to get the PHB. I just got the drag arms with spherical bearing front and rear on someon elses sugestion if I could not afford both panhard bar and control arms.

Have never tried any of the other shocks, but I love my Bilsteins. It wasn't too harsh compared to the stock ride, just a little bit stiffer but still comfortable.
panhard bar from mm is on my list,i think its part of my rear grip package im looking at.i hope these bilsteins get rid of that damn lowrider bounce i got.

x2 - LCA and PHB
Sorry for the hijack but how is this combo with LCA's and PHB, i was thinking of doing the torque arm as well. I believe MM sells all three (LCA PHB TA) in a package

It's amazing, light years ahead of what I had before ( Bullitt springs/shocks/struts
). Car corners so much more flat now with no noticeable oversteer and "maybe" a bit of understeer. Nothing major and only a slight slight correction needed going through a turn.It's so good, that I am hesitant to install the T/A even though I know it will be an improvement. I just hate to think of cutting up the x pipe.
They do sell a package, but since I did it in stages it didn't apply to me. You save a bit of money but no a whole lot.
i hope they are a least alot better,mm said that the hd struts and shocks are a match to my h&r supper sports springs i bought,with the stock stuff i have on there now its bounces me into the roof.im hoping that it calms all that business down.
